Maasai Mara National Reserve

Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve Your adventure begins early in the morning with a pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport around 7:00 AM. From there, embark on a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley with a stopover at the viewpoint for photos and leg-stretching. You’ll pass through Narok, a bustling Maasai town, before continuing on to the Masai Mara, arriving in time for lunch at your camp or lodge. After a short rest, enjoy your first afternoon game drive in the park. This initial drive gives you a glimpse of the Mara's diverse ecosystem expect to see elephants, giraffes, antelopes, and possibly members of the big cats. Return to camp by sunset for dinner and overnight under the African skies.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive – Wildebeest Migration & Big Five After an early breakfast, depart with packed lunches for a full-day game drive, maximizing your chances of witnessing the wildebeest migration. Depending on the migration patterns, your guide will take you towards the Mara River, where dramatic river crossings may occur — a spectacle filled with tension as herds leap into crocodile-infested waters. Along the way, you’ll also track the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo), cheetahs, hyenas, and vast plains of grazers. Break for a picnic lunch under the shade of an acacia tree or near the river. The full day in the reserve offers unforgettable photo opportunities and thrilling wildlife encounters. Return to the camp in the evening for a hot shower, dinner, and storytelling by the campfire.
